I once lost connection to server inside of an Electro firestation. When I logged in on a new server I was standing right in-front of another player with his gun pointed right in my face. Seriously the other player's Winchester was right inside of the camera as I logged in. Naturally he shot me at point blank before the bottom right text had finished animating. Had some good weapons and an Alice pack but item-wise it wasn't a big deal. That has been the only time pure random universal bad luck has ever screwed me over so hard I died.

That is practically cheating and if disabling graphics options in-game is the way people should deal with it why have it exist at all? A warning sign would be sufficient to tell you that your blood levels are dangerously low if the red droplet isn't enough.

After having barely survived an encounter with a bandit and a couple of zombies I was left with a very low amound of blood in my body. I was unable to see colour and the screen was pulsing a blur effect. I tried to carry on moving out to search for animals or something to get my blood level higher but it was next to impossible to tell what was ahead of me through the extreme blur effects that kept fading in and out. I decided to just kill myself rather than keep on fighting. Not because it seemed like an impossible task but because my eyes were hurting so much from tying to focus on the constantly blurring screen. It was like looking directly into the sun, I could feel the strain in my eyes for hours after I had left the computer. Please reduce the amount of post-process effects the game uses or at least make them go away after a short time period or something. These current effects are directly unhealthy for your eyes and personally I'd take a turbo realistic bloody screen over these effects any day.

Are you trying to give DayZ its very own Herobrine?

Can we see the patch notes?

I started playing during last patch when zombie counts were unintentiuonally low and I foudn that to be much better than this only because when you encounter zombies more seldom each encounter and the buildup to each encounter becomes a much mroe powerful experiance. Personally I'd like to see few but tougher zombies, with zombies being so laggy and glitchy as they are currently I don't see why we need so many of them.

Date/Time: 14 May, 2012 - Approximately 18:30 What happened: Zombies were able to walk through the walls and doors of buildings. Where you were: A warehouse and later a shed in Elektrozavodsk. What you were doing: Looting for gear and sneaking around, regular stuff. *Current installed version: 1.5.7 *Timeline of events before/after error: I had just spawned as a new character at the harbor of Elektro and ventured into the city looking for gear. I entered a warehouse building and closed the doors while searching through the loot. I was about the leave when zombies walked right through the door, they weren't chasing me just shambling at walking speed through the warehouse. They never attacked or begin to chase me eve though I was very clsoe to them and fully visible. Later I had entered a small shed when upon exiting a zombie began chasing me, I ran back into the shed and shot the zombie from there. This alerted other nearby zombies who started running for me. I shot one running for the entrance but was then knocked unconscious by zombies that had clipped through the walls of the building.
